What kind of power and handling can I expect from the 2018 Dodge Durango?

Two capable engines make up the powertrain lineup for the bulk of 2018 Durangos (with an additional engine offered for the SRT model). An award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 offers 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and comes standard on base trims, while an optional upgrade to a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is available. The 5.7-liter HEMI puts out 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, and offers a best-in-class tow capacity of up to 7,400 pounds. Both engines are paired with a standard electronic eight-speed automatic transmission with a Rotary E-shift dial and steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Standard rear-wheel-drive helps propel the formidable SUV, while available all-wheel-drive leverages the vehicle's weight and provides enhanced traction and handling. Features like Electronic Stability Control, All-Speed Traction Control, and Electronic Roll Mitigation allow drivers to maneuver the Durango with confidence.

This engine launches the Durango SRT into some incredible stats, including a 4.4 second zero to sixty acceleration. The SRT is noted as the most powerful and capable three-row SUV on the market, and, when properly equipped, can tow up to 8,600 pounds. The SRT also comes standard with many features that are available with higher trims of the regular Durango, including all-wheel-drive, second-row captain's chairs, and a wide-body exterior design. Unique design features of the SRT include standard leather and suede upholstery, available in Demonic Red, carbon fiber interior trim, and a functional hood featuring an air inlet duct and heat extractors.

Uconnect safety features, as well as other Uconnect infotainment applications, can be accessed through a standard 7-inch touchscreen interface, or an upgraded 8.4-inch screen.
